Report of the Board of Directors for Semester I January 1 – June 30, 2021

This Report of the Board of Directors was prepared in accordance with the provisions of Law 24/2017 regarding the issuers of financial instruments and market operations and Regulation A.S.F. no. 5/2018 of the Financial Supervisory Authority regarding the issuers of financial instruments and market operations, Appendices 12 and 14, respectively, for Semester I, 2021.

Message from the President & General Director

In 2020, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the global economy was strongly felt by Aerostar, too, with a significant reduction of the sales volume compared to the sales volume achieved in 2019. The reduced volume of orders led to the use of all legal facilitation instruments, particularly the technical unemployment. Thus, we have identified various ways to limit the impact of the pandemic and the ensuing crisis on the manpower.

Since the situation continued in 2021, we have therefore focused on harmonizing the number of employees with the volume and number of orders from our customers, without resorting to collective redundancies, while maintaining our company's capabilities and authorizations.

At the same time, we have noticed a slight recovery trend in both the demand for manufactured products and the maintenance activity, but the pandemic does not allow for clear long-term visibility.

Currently, the major goal of Aerostar is to capitalize on the upcoming growth potential.

In spite of the many existing unknowns, such as the energy price or the raw material price, we rely on the proven abilities of Aerostar to operate in a competitive environment.

In the Ordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders, the shareholders of the company AEROSTAR S.A. approved:

  • The signing of a financial audit agreement with BDO Audit SRL for a minimum period of 3 (three) years, with the possibility to extend that period by an Addendum approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The statements were posted on the Company website www.aerostar.ro under Investors Relation.
  • o On 26 May the negotiations between the Administration of the Company AEROSTAR S.A. and the Employees' Committee were finalized by signing

the addendum no. 6 to the Collective Labour Agreement for 2019-2021, referring the employees' benefits, valid until March 31, 2022.

Health-related events for the company's employees

  • o On 15 January 2021 the top management of AEROSTAR S.A. issued an informative note regarding the vaccination opportunity and necessity for both the employees and their families. The anti-Covid-19 vaccination drive represents a sustainable way of fighting this pandemic.
  • o On 02 June 2021 the top management of AEROSTAR S.A. issued an informative note regarding the significant reduction of the number of infections, also calling on the responsibility of each employee to get vaccinated for their own safety as well as the safety of their families and of the collective.

All this time AEROSTAR S.A. has focused mainly on ensuring its employees' health and safety by adopting all necessary steps so that the company activity may be carried out in safety. The general plan of specific steps adopted for the employees' protection against contracting the new Covid-19 stipulates steps of permanent nature until the elimination of any specific risks.

o On 30 June 2021 36.5% of the company's employees were vaccinated.

Significant external events

  • o In the years that preceded the pandemic, the OEM aircraft producers increased their production in anticipation of a continuous growth. This led to a saturation of the aircraft availability. Moreover, some transporters returned relatively new aircraft to locators such as Norwegian Air Shuttle when exiting the long-haul market. The prices for used aircraft leasing contracts have dropped and are likely to remain lower.
  • o The long-term effects of the pandemic on aviation begin to show. Some of them are obvious: the hygiene and safety standards will be stricter, and the digitalization trend will continue to transform the travelling experience.
  • o The freight transport represented a rescue point for the aeronautical industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. While before the pandemic, it represented about 12% of the total revenues in the field, last year this percentage tripled.
  • o As commercial flights are gradually resumed, the aircraft supply will increase, even though not to the pre-COVID-19 level for at least several years. The commercial aircraft market is expected to recover to the pre-commercial levels reached between 2023 and 2025, led by single-aisle aircraft with a regular 200-250 seating capacity that fly over shorter routes.

  • o Airbus intends to step up production, having declared that it foresees a recovery of the demand to the pre-pandemic level until 2025. Airbus declared that it would increase the production of A320neo by more than 10%, from 40 airplanes/month to 45/month by the end of this year. This step comes at a time when the airlines are still struggling to remain financially viable.

  • o Airbus has resumed the upgrading work at their industrial facilities for Family A320 of Toulouse. Thus, an enhanced flexibility is pursued in its entire global industrial production system, so as to respond promptly to the market recovery and future demand.
  • o The aircraft engine company Rolls-Royce opened the largest aerospace test facility in the world at Derby. The facility will allow the performance of future development work on the next generation of engines, UltraFan, which is expected to be 25% more effective than the current models.
  • o Boeing and Alaska Airlines announced a partnership in the latest program Boeing ecoDemonstrator, and they will test about 20 technologies on a new 737-9 aircraft, until the air travelling safety and sustainability is improved.

Overview

  • o The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the aviation industry by the restrictions imposed, leading to a global economic downturn that only raised controversy about its actual extent.
  • o There are still uncertainties about the pandemic, and the vaccination campaigns will not put an end to the recession immediately, nor will they bring about an instantaneous change in the industry, which is why the full recovery forecasts are uncertain.
  • o In spite of the discouraging situation, the aviation industry has proven to be resilient in the past and is expected to turn around in 2021, provided that no new pandemic waves will rise and through a collective effort to increase the vaccination rate.

Events after the reporting period

o No events were recorded after the reporting period.

AEROSTAR S.A. business

During the first semester of 2021 the impact of the pandemic crisis was felt differently on the three business lines.

Semestrial Report 30.06.2021

Sales in Semester I

The turnover achieved in the first semester of 2021 was 174.764 thousand lei. AEROSTAR S.A. sold products and services on the domestic market in the amount of 61.664 thousand lei, and on the foreign market in the amount of 113.100 thousand lei.

About 65% of the sales represent export sales. The external customers are located in various places, but the foreign market as a representative percentage for AEROSTAR S.A. is represented by the European market.

Sales markets of AEROSTAR S.A. in the first semester of 2021:

AEROSTAR S.A. has a significant footprint in the European aviation industry and beyond, being a significant supplier in the global manufacturing and maintenance programmes at industrial level for civil aircraft.

Compared to the same period of the year 2020, the export sales percentage was affected in Europe and Canada, while the sales percentage on the Romanian and Asian market increased.

In Europe we provide maintenance services for civil aviation, aviation products (landing gear systems, mechanical parts, assemblies and subassemblies), electronic equipment and ground equipment.

In Asia and Africa, we provide maintenance services for civil aviation and in Canada we supply aviation products.

In Romania we provide repair services for military aircraft and repairs of electronic components and parts for military aircraft, upgrades, integrations and maintenance for military aviation systems, repair services for civil aviation products, launchers and systems.

TOTAL 3,613 100.00

The summary statement of investment expenditure is presented in the table below:

Business lines

AEROSTAR S.A. has a significant footprint in the aviation industry. The income of the company is generated mainly from basic business. The business lines of the company are:

Aerostar is a significant supplier in the manufacturing global programmes and in the industrial level maintenance field for commercial aircraft.

In the field of defence systems from air, ground and navy category, Aerostar is a tier 1 supplier for the Romanian Ministry of National Defence.

The diverse portfolio of programmes and services continues to offer a significant stability during this period.

Manufacturing of aeronautical products

The equipment, assemblies and parts produced in AEROSTAR are part of a large number of commercial aircraft: Airbus A320, A321, A330, A350, Boeing B737, B787, B767, Gulfstream G650, Dassault F7X, Bombardier Challenger serial 600 and Global 5000/6000 series. Also, AEROSTAR supplies parts for the space industry through the European company Ariane.

In the Airbus supply chain, AEROSTAR S.A. is currently a tier 2 supplier for aerostructures and a tier 1 strategic supplier for SAFRAN Landing Systems for assemblies, hydraulic systems and actuator cylinders, landing gears for multiple aircraft programmes.

The diminished aircraft demand has a strong impact, at a global level, on the aircraft manufacturing supply chains AEROSTAR is part of. In terms of activity fields, the field of hydraulic and landing gear equipment was more dynamic during this period. The actions performed by AEROSTAR S.A. to counterbalance the pandemic's effect are oriented towards extending the customers portfolio and manufacturing programmes.

One of the major aircraft producers (e.g. Airbus) announced in the first months of this year recovery programmes for the aircraft production and delivery so that by 2024 the production level reaches the production level of 2019.

The comparative evolution of sales for the manufacturing of aeronautical products shows a significant decrease compared to the same period of the previous year.

MRO Civil Aviation

AEROSTAR S.A. has a significant footprint as business volume in the MRO Civil Aviation field, being an independent provider of maintenance services at an industrial level for the commercial aircraft in the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 family.

Based on the Part-145 authorization from the Romanian Civil Aeronautical Authority as a full member of the European Authority for Flight Safety (EASA), the maintenance base of AEROSTAR has developed and consolidated its market position and obtained an extended range of authorizations from the civil aviation authorities from several countries outside of European Union, including from the American aeronautical authority FAA.

The EASA authorization certificate to perform repair projects and minor modifications on civil aircraft as Part-21J design organization is designed to increase the added value for our customers.

As a consequence of the reduced air transport activities, various notifications of project cancellations regarding Boeing B737 and Airbus A320 were received from several aerial operators.

Despite the business environment not being very favourable due to the pandemic, all the efforts to prepare technicians and engineers dedicated to this facility began to contribute to the sustainable development of the new maintenance centre in Iasi.

Therefore, AEROSTAR S.A. increases its footprint on the MRO Civil Aviation field, confirming its position as a main independent MRO services provider, both in Romania and in this geographic region.

By the end of the year AEROSTAR S.A. aims to extend its civil aircraft maintenance services by adding new A320 neo motorized PW1100 and B737-MAX aircraft models.

The comparative evolution of sales for the MRO civil aviation services has slightly increased compared to the same period of the previous year.

Defence systems

In the category of defence systems, AEROSTAR S.A. is actively running upgrades, integration and maintenance programmes for military and defence aviation systems, further focusing on those types of platforms for which it has proven expertise in conventional programmes, but also on new upgrade & integration programmes: military aircraft, launching systems, primary and secondary systems.

AEROSTAR S.A. is part of the national defence industry, having the status of authorized economic operator, registered in the Unique Register of economic operators and of production facility and/or defence services. Under the aforementioned law, in December 2018, the Romanian government designated AEROSTAR as a Maintenance Centre for the aircraft F-16 owned by the Romanian army.

In the first semester of 2021, AEROSTAR S.A. performed investments for setting the capabilities required for the maintenance centre for F-16 military aircraft. Therefore, the centre has been developing progressively by allocating and training its personnel, by manufacturing and purchasing test benches and devices, and also by creating its own maintenance infrastructure for the aircraft, the first F-16 aircraft owned by the Romanian Air Forces scheduled for maintenance work at Aerostar this year.

Position on the market in the field of launchers and radar systems

AEROSTAR has constantly developed the capabilities needed to strengthen its supplier status and expertise in the field of launch systems, platforms and launch and fire control component, manufacture of launchers, maintenance and logistic support, upgrades.

Starting with the manufacture of 122mm launchers, subsequently upgraded to NATO standards, the related experience has been gained over the course of several manufacturing, repairs and successive upgrade programmes, integrations of artillery systems in the service of the Romanian Army or for the platforms of other beneficiaries or technology demonstrators financed from own sources, in the category of advanced launching and artillery systems.

The comparative evolution in the field of defence systems shows a growing trend compared to the same period of the previous year.

6. Business environment and benchmarks of the context of organization

The elements of risk-based management mentality are based on understanding AEROSTAR as an organization and the context in which it operates.

In the first semester of 2021, the business environment in which AEROSTAR operates was still deeply influenced by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, from both a commercial and an industrial point of view.

The sustained travelling restrictions have led to a limited recovery of the international passenger transport, including the air transport. Still, the vaccination campaigns from various regions of the world have increased the public confidence in travelling by airplane with no risk of Covid-19 contamination, allowing a slight increase of the domestic air transport flights.

This context creates the premises of a gradual recovery of the global air transport traffic, but most likely, concentrated on domestic flights. The cargo air traffic has not been influenced in the same way by the context described, and even saw a growth.

Modifications of external aspects

The relevant external and internal aspects identified are the ones that can affect the achievement of the strategic mission and objectives as well as the ability of the company to achieve the desired results of its management system.

The aspects identified as being part of the external context of the organization pertain to the following areas: geopolitical, economic, technical, legal and environmental.

Semestrial Report 30.06.2021

traffic

technologies, mainly focused on manufacturing of composite

materials

37 AEROSTAR S.A. to ensure the aviation sustainability, the need to impose EU measures on the impact of noise on a range of important airports is taken into consideration. Through their impactful effects, the noiserelated measures constrain both the airport's capacity, and the aerial system as a whole.

The identification, surveillance and elimination of the ensuing risks are performed through a permanent informative system with regard to the legislative modifications, technological evolution, market demand, as well as by organizing a system for analysis, endorsement and approval of the terms and conditions included in the trade contracts.

The relevant interested parts which were identified are: customers, employees, investors, applicable technical and regulatory authorities, certification bodies, suppliers, educational institutions, trade union organisations, local community and state.

The interested parts were identified according to the impact their requirements may have on the company's ability to meet its objectives, as well as on the ability to meet the Customers' requirements and the applicable regulations.

Modifications of internal aspects

The aspects identified as pertaining to the internal context of the company's organization fall under the following categories: human resources, infrastructure, capabilities and authorizations, from the governance field, but also of the organization's performances.

The health situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of the economic crisis are still generating ripples. The protection measures applied in the company helped us eliminate the risk of infection in our groups of employees. However, the educational system and professional training are still affected, as well as the operational processes at organizational and management level.

The authorizations and recertifications obtained in the first semester of 2021 are presented in the chapter "Quality and environment".

The sustainable use of resources and the energy efficiency are a constant preoccupation in AEROSTAR S.A. The industrial water needs are fully covered by exploitation of its own wells.

Guidelines from the ISO 9001 international standard were used to understand the context of the organization, the determination of external and internal aspects, as well as the identification of the interested parties.

7. Our employees

8. Quality and environment

Following the analysis of the quality and environment management system, the policy referring to quality and environment was reconfirmed in 2021.

The quality management system was recertified based on the requirements of standards SR EN ISO 9001:2015 and EN 9100:2018.

AEROSTAR S.A. was certified as a design organization according to RMAR 2021 Section A Chapter J, according to the Certificate for Military Approval of the Design Organization, no. RO.AAMN.21J.00002.

The activities that impact the environment are held under control by internal operational controls, i.e. through analysis of the results of the monitoring and measurements made according to the provisions of the environmental authorizations. Thus, in the first semester of 2021, the actual results ranged below the maximum allowed values for the indicators.

The emissions in the atmosphere measured in 2021 (according to the requirements of the integrated environmental Authorization) revealed values considerably below the maximum allowed values provided by the applicable law in force.

The results of the checks performed by the commissioners from the National Environmental Guard – Bacau County Commissioner's Office confirm the company's compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

All the waste generated from the activities performed in the company are selectively stored in proper containers and subsequently handed over to authorized operators to collect, value and dispose them.

9. Management of risk and opportunities

The management system within AEROSTAR S.A. places particular emphasis on the risk and opportunity management.

In the first semester of 2021, AEROSTAR S.A. continued the improvement and development of the risk and opportunity management system approached in the management analyses carried out within the company.

At AEROSTAR S.A., the risk and opportunity management system is an integral part of the management and decision-making processes.

Risk Management System

AEROSTAR S.A. applies a risk-based mentality toward strategic and sustainable development, by:

  • improving the governance;
  • creating a pro-active culture for improvement;
  • ensuring consistent quality of products and services.

The risk management process involves a systematic application of the procedures and practices in the activities of communication and consultancy, evaluation, treatment, monitoring and reporting of the risks.

The actual risk management process guarantees that the risks are handled in such a way as to ensure the level of risk agreed upon.

The top management has made sure that adequate authorities and responsibilities were established for the relevant positions and levels within the company and the necessary resources for the risk management were allocated accordingly.

Main Risks and Risk Management – Quality and Environment

Risk management involves the evaluation and handling of the risks. At AEROSTAR S.A., the risk evaluation is a systematic activity performed with a view to:

  • o identifying new risks that did not occur previously;
  • o re-evaluating the recurring risks.

It was also taken into consideration that the actions for handling the risks and opportunities need to be proportional with the potential impact on the conformity of the products and services.

The implementation status of the actions for handling the risks and opportunities is monitored permanently and the actions are deemed to be effective if the foreseen results are obtained as a result of their implementation.

Main risks and their management in terms of human resources

The main risk identified in terms of human resources is to secure qualified resources according to the needs arising from the execution of the agreements concluded with the customers of AEROSTAR.

The efficiency of the management process for this risk can be quantified via the ratio between the number of employments and the number of job openings registered between January and June 2021, which is 100%, taking into account the sanitary crisis which affects the entire world and the economic environment, including the aeronautical field.

In the pandemic context, in order to fight the ensuing risks, AEROSTAR has informed, trained and made its employees and delegates/visitors aware about the risk of infection with the new COVID-19 coronavirus by internal decisions, memos, specific warning material/notices, briefings. The specific measures adopted are presented in Measures adopted by AEROSTAR in the Covid-19 pandemic context.

Handling risks

The company AEROSTAR S.A is exposed to multiple risks and uncertainties which can affect its financial performances.

The business lines conducted by AEROSTAR S.A., the operational results or financial situation could be affected by the materialization of the risks presented below.

The company aims at securing sustainability in the medium and long term and reducing the uncertainty associated to its strategic and financial objectives.

The epidemiologic risk - the risk associated to the continuation of the pandemic and the identification of a new strain of Covid-19 is approached by applying the whole package of protection measures.

Legal risk - the risk of loss as a result both of fines, penalties and sanctions to which the company AEROSTAR S.A. is liable in case of failure to apply or faulty application of the legal or contractual provisions or regulations. The extremely varied spectrum of suppliers and customers with which AEROSTAR collaborates, which covers several countries and continents, makes this extremely important, as detailed and revealed through risks regarding the international changes/uncertainties; risks regarding the fierce commercial competitivity in the aviation field, including customer concentrations and risks regarding changes to the laws/regulations regarding the legislation in force.

The effects of the legal risk are removed through continuous information regarding the legislative modifications. Furthermore, the company AEROSTAR S.A. aims to make available, by setting up provisions for risks and related expenses, its own funds designed to cover the risks to which it is exposed, also taking into consideration any risks arising from associations/partnerships.

In this context, the emphasis is placed on the possible syncope in developing and running programmes subsequently abandoned by our partners as a result of exceptional events or collaborations with contiguous delayed, non-sustainable programmes (risk of life cycle disruption for the programmes).

The allocation of appropriate resources is also aimed at ensuring that the monitoring process is focused on mitigating any potential risks specific to cyberattacks, and also on minimizing the resilience of the risk of safe and secure downtime of the information system.

Operational risk: in order to reduce the operational risk, AEROSTAR renews annually, with first-rank insurance and reinsurance companies, a civil liability insurance contract for the main business lines (manufacture of aviation products and maintenance of commercial planes), via its full knowledge of and compliance with the specific provisions of the insurance risk and by closely monitoring and mitigating any signs of influence on the organization's reputation and the risk of damaging the company's image.

Credit risk, including the country risk in which the client operates, is managed on a per-business basis. Whenever deemed necessary, specific credit risk mitigation instruments are requested (advance receipts, bank guarantee letters of payment, confirmed export credits).

The company AEROSTAR S.A. has no significant exposure to a single partner and does not have a significant concentration of turnover in a single geographical area.

However, there is a remarkable exposure to the global Airbus programme market, with a large share of the company's products embedded in Airbus aircraft.

The crisis generated by the Covid-19 pandemic strongly affects the global aviation industry. AEROSTAR acts through integrated management system measures in order to handle all impacts and mitigate the effects of the aviation crisis on the company's performance in the short and medium term.

The liquidity risk: To handle this risk, all cash flows are monitored and reviewed weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually in order to establish the estimated level of net cash modifications.

Such reviews provide the basis for the financing decisions and for the capital undertakings.

For the administration of the liquidity risk, AEROSTAR keeps an annual cash reserve as a Credit Line usable as a bank overdraft.

During the reporting period, AEROSTAR did not use the Credit Line, all the activities being financed from the company's own funds.

The market risk is relevant through the price risk, currency risk and interest rate risk. AEROSTAR is mainly exposed to the price risk determined by the fluctuations of the price of raw materials and materials used in the production processes, caused by some extraordinary events (the Brexit Agreement with an impact on the purchasing of materials from the United Kingdom, the implementation of certain international sanctions that limited the possibility to purchase the necessary parts and materials, etc.), as well as the increased costs related to specific duties for the import/ export of metallic products (steel and/ or aluminium) to and from USA.

This risk is evident in the context of the economic recession in the aviation industry caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The company AEROSTAR is exposed to foreign exchange risk because 65% of the turnover on the first semester is related to USD and EUR, while a significant part of the operating costs is denominated in LEI. AEROSTAR is thus exposed to the risk of being affected by the changes in the exchange rates both in its net income and its financial position, as expressed in LEI.

As far as the interest rate risk is concerned, due to the fact that AEROSTAR did not use the contracted Credit Line during the reporting period, the cash revenues and flows are independent of the interest rate variation on the banking market.

Risks and uncertainties have been identified for the following period, related to maintaining the organizational performance in spite of the reduced demand on the current market in the civil aviation field.

The trend of the main risks and uncertainties for the following period

In light of the uncertainties related to economy, business, social aspects and health in the first semester of 2021 it remains obvious that the recovery of the aviation industry is a slow process, with the main risks and uncertainties influenced by the specific ongoing actions of monitoring the market evolution trend under the pressure of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The management of the company focused both on reducing the likelihood of new infections and supervising the evolution of confirmed cases, and on mitigating the social and economic consequences of economic and financial imbalances in light of the low production rates on short and long term.

At the same time, the company intensifies its constant dialogue with the customers and partners in the supply chain, with the purpose to correlate and connect their actions in order to overcome successfully this global crisis with minimum losses.

Risks and uncertainties have been identified for the following period, related to maintaining the organizational performance in spite of the reduced demand on the current market in the civil aviation field.

10. Reporting the non-financial aspects

The Board of Directors of AEROSTAR S.A. established the conformity with the legislation by presenting the non-financial information in the form of a "nonfinancial declaration" included in the Report of the Board of Directors and published together with it.

The annual non-financial declaration is sustained by collecting data about the analysis, evaluation, control and performance of the organization throughout the year, and by including in the quarterly and 6-month reports such data and information relevant for the applicable time period.

The sanitary and global economic situation generated by the Covid-19 pandemic did not alter AEROSTAR's commitment or caused any impact on the company's conformity in terms of social and environmental responsibilities, personnel, aspects regarding human rights, fighting corruption and bribery, promoting diversity.

Guided by business responsibility and business spirit in the defence and aviation field, AEROSTAR is loyal to the best practices in the field and, in line with the practices of its business partners, it has been providing for years information, explanations and data in this category of non-financial information.

The regulatory framework established by AEROSTAR for conformity relies on:

  • The Management System of AEROSTAR, the Quality and Environment Management System and the Occupational Health and Safety Management System, respectively, all certified in AEROSTAR in accordance with the requirements of the standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001, AS EN 9100, AQAP 2110 and ISO 45001:2018, respectively;
  • AEROSTAR's customers' requirements
  • The guidelines described in the ISO 26000 international standard on social responsibility;
  • The regulatory framework provided by the Romanian law;
  • The guidelines described in the European Commission Communication "Guidelines on reporting non-financial information (methodology of reporting non-financial information) (2017/C215/01)".
  • The guidelines described in the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, without registering and declaring its conformity with them.

AEROSTAR fully complies with the national and international standards and regulations applicable to the environmental, social and personnel aspects, observing the human rights, fighting bribery and corruption, promoting diversity.

AEROSTAR systematically informed the interested parties regarding the nonfinancial aspects that were deemed capable of facilitating the understanding of the field in which the company operates and the manner of conducting and organizing the company's business.

Through its continuous and sustainable development strategy, AEROSTAR has embraced the goals of sustainable development and social responsibility for business growth, by upgrading its production and management systems for production and business and its organizational development in line with developments in the global aviation industry.

The Board of Directors determines the strategic orientation of the company and ensures its implementation, with a view to achieving a sustainable increase of AEROSTAR's value. The Board of Directors is also responsible for ensuring the observance of all the applicable legal provisions, internal regulations as well as for the adequate management and control of the risks.

The executive management closely coordinates the activity of the departments in charge with the economic, environmental and social aspects within the company and informs the Board of Directors accordingly, in order to ensure long-term development.

The contact in charge with the non-financial reporting process is also charged with the regulatory reports to be submitted by the company.

The management system from AEROSTAR ensures the operational and growth framework of the company in safe and sustainable conditions, setting objectives, allocating and planning resources, measuring the performance and establishing improvement actions.

  • The responsibilities regarding the quality and environment aspects, as well as the Risk Management are allocated/delegated to the Quality and Environment Director.
  • The responsibilities regarding the social, personnel, health and safety at work, the fight against discrimination and promoting diversity are allocated/delegated to the Human Resources Director; in terms of interferences these responsibilities are correlated with:
  • The responsibilities regarding the aspects of conformity with the law, regarding the human rights and fighting bribery and corruption, which are allocated/delegated to the Legal Department.
  • The responsibilities regarding aspects of sustainable use of resources or reducing the energy consumption are allocated/delegated to the Infrastructure and Utilities Division Director.
  • The responsibilities provided in the anti-money laundering measures of conformity are allocated to the Financial-Accounting Director.
  • The responsibilities regarding the corporate governance are assigned to the general secretary of the company.

For each afore-mentioned aspect, various control functions are allocated, and reports are presented during the quarterly management reviews.

We are deeply committed to the continuous improvement of our economic performance in relation to our goals regarding natural resources, the responsible use of water and energy, waste recycling, reducing the carbon emissions and the use of dangerous chemicals, all these aspects are of major importance in all our activities. Aerostar undertakes to continue to apply sustainable development strategies and to continuously improve its work practices in this field.

Furthermore, Aerostar commits itself to:

  • Communicate its environmental policy and strategy to all interested parties and to raise their awareness of their own responsibilities towards the environment;
  • Comply fully and where possible to exceed the requirements of the applicable regulations and standards;
  • Reduce the energy consumption and GHG emissions;
  • Reduce water consumption;
  • Reduce the waste resulting from its activities;
  • Improve and develop all company sites in order to avoid the negative environmental impact;
  • Avoid the use of environmentally-damaging substances, materials and processes and where this is not possible, to limit the use thereof.

Our guiding principles are the compliance with our customers' requirements, the full safety of the users of our products and services, the continuous improvement and increase of the environmental performance.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY

AEROSTAR was established in 1953 and acts in accordance with the Romanian law.

AEROSTAR S.A. performs its activity at its registered head office located in Bacau, 9, Condorilor Street, code 600302. In accordance with the Agreement no. 2/14.12.2017 of the Board of Directors, a secondary place of business without legal personality (workplace) has been approved in Iasi, on 25B Aeroportului Street.

The main field of activity of AEROSTAR is production.

The main object of activity of the company is "Manufacture of aircraft and spaceships" - code 3030. The company was registered as a shareholding company at the Bacau Trade Register (under number J04/1137/1991), with the current name "AEROSTAR S.A." and the individual identification code 950531, the European Unique Identifier (EUID) code ROONRC J04/1137/1991.

The company is listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange under the ARS code, and the record of its shares and shareholders is kept, as provided by law, by S.C. Depozitarul Central S.A. Bucharest.

During the first 6 months of 2021, there was no subscription of new shares, nor of any participation certificates, convertible bonds, warranties, options or similar rights.

In terms of accounting regulations, AEROSTAR S.A. is the subsidiary of the company IAROM S.A. and, therefore, the parent company that consolidates the financial statements of the group is S.C. IAROM S.A., with the unique identification code 1555301, having its registered head office in Bucharest, 39 Aerogarii B-d. The consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2019 were submitted to A.N.A.F. under registration number 221497794-2020/27.08.2020. Copies of the consolidated financial statements can be obtained from the head office of the parent company, IAROM S.A. The parent company will prepare and publish a set of consolidated financial statements in accordance with the applicable accounting regulations, for the financial year ended on 31.12.2020.

The company has a sole operating segment in accordance with IFRS 8 and no distinct financial information is available for various components of the entity. The information regarding the sales by categories of products and markets are presented in detail in the Report of the Board of Directors.

The company's policy is focused on maintaining a solid capital basis in order to support the continuous development of the company and accomplish its strategic objectives.

The company will continue to act firmly so as to ensure the sustainability of its investments and business growth, given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the aviation industry.

During the first semester of 2021, the company did not use borrowed capital and there was no capital injection from the shareholders, but it benefited from technical unemployment and allowances during the period of reduced working time of the employees in accordance with the legal provisions.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS

2.1. Estimates

The preparation and presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with IFRS involves the use of estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the implementation of the accounting policies as well as the reported value of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The estimates and judgements are made based on the historic experience as well as on a series of

factors considered adequate and reasonable. The accounting estimates and judgements are continuously updated and take into account reasonable expectations with respect to future probable events.

The reported accounting values of the assets, the liabilities that cannot be determined or obtained from other sources are based on these estimates considered adequate by the company's management. Such estimates, as well as the reasoning and assumptions behind them are reviewed on a regular basis and the result thereof is recognized in the time period when the estimate was reviewed.

Any change in accounting estimates will be recognized prospectively by its inclusion in the result:

  • of the period of time when the change occurs, if it affects only that period of time; or
  • of the period of time when the change occurs and of the subsequent periods, if the change also affects such periods.

The company uses estimates in order to determine:

  • the uncertain customers and the adjustments for impairment of related receivables;
  • the value of the provisions for risks and expenses to set up at the end of the period of time (month, quarter, year) for litigations, for the dismantling of property, plant and equipment, for restructuring, for collateral granted to customers, for obligations toward manpower and other obligations;
  • the adjustments for impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. At the end of each reporting period, the company estimates whether there are indications of impairment. If such signs are identified, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment (if any).
  • the lifetimes of property, plant and equipment and intangible fixed assets. The company reviews the estimated life of the tangible and intangible fixed assets at least at the end of each financial year to determine the adequacy.
  • the inventories of raw materials and materials requiring the setting up of adjustments for impairment.
  • deferred taxes.

Presenting the information

To the extent possible, the company will present the nature and value of a change to an accounting estimate which has an effect in the current/subsequent period(s).

2.2. Errors

Errors may arise regarding the recognition, evaluation, presentation or description of the items of the financial statements.

The company corrects retroactively the significant errors on the prior period presented in the first set of financial statements approved for publication after discovering the errors, by:

  • restating the comparative values for the prior period presented when the error occurred, or
  • if the error occurred before the earliest period presented, by restating the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the prior period presented.

In case of identifying an error, the company presents the following information:

  • the nature of the error for the previous period;
  • for each previous period presented, as far as possible, the corrected value:
  • for each item row affected in the financial statement
  • for the basic result and diluted per share.
    • the amount of the correction at the beginning of the earliest period presented;
    • if retrospective restating is impossible for a specific prior period, the circumstances leading to the existence of such circumstance and a description of the manner in which and the time when such error was corrected.

2.3. Changes in the accounting policies

The change of the accounting policies is only permitted if requested by IFRS or if it results in more relevant or more reliable information with reference to the company operations.

The company modifies an accounting policy only if such change:

  • is required by an IFRS; or
  • results in financial statements that provide reliable and more relevant information with reference to the effects of the transactions, of other events or conditions on the financial performance or cash flows of the entity.

Application of changes in the accounting policies:

  • The entity takes into account a change in the accounting policy that results from the initial implementation of an IFRS in accordance with the specific transitory provisions, if any, of that IFRS; and

  • When the entity changes an accounting policy during the initial application of an IFRS that does not include specific transitory provisions.

Presenting the information

When the initial application of an IFRS has an effect on the current or prior period of time, the company discloses in the explanatory notes the following:

  • the title of IFRS;
  • the nature of the accounting policy change;
  • when applicable, the fact that the change is made as an effect of the transitory dispositions and a description of these transitory provisions;
  • for the current period and for each prior period, the amount of adjustments for each affected element of the statement of the financial position, to the extent possible.

When it is impossible to determine the specific effects for one or more prior accounting periods, the company will apply the new accounting policy of assets and liabilities for the first period for which the retroactive application is possible, which may also be the current period.

When a voluntary change of the accounting policy has an effect on the current or prior period, the company presents in the explanatory notes:

  • the nature of the change of accounting policy;
    • the reasons for which the application of the new accounting policy provides more reliable and relevant information;
    • for the current period and for each prior accounting period, the estimated amount of the adjustments for each affected item of the statement of the financial position, as far as possible.

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING AND EVALUATION PRINCIPLES

3.1. Basis for the preparation and presentation of financial statements

The individual financial statements of AEROSTAR SA are prepared in accordance with the provisions of:

  • the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the European Union;
  • Accounting Law no. 82/1991, republished, as subsequently amended and supplemented;
  • O.M.F.P. no. 881/2012 on the application of International Financial Reporting Standards by companies with securities admitted for trading on a market regulated by the International Financial Reporting Standards;
  • O.M.F.P. no. 2.844/2016 on the approval of the Accounting Regulations conforming to the International Financial Reporting Standards, as amended and supplemented;
  • OM.F.P. no. 2.861/2009 for the approval of the Norms regarding the organization and execution of the inventories of elements such as assets, debts and own capital;
  • O.M.F.P. no. 1.826/2003 on the approval of the Explanatory Memorandum regarding some measures of organization and management of the business accounting;
  • O.M.F.P. no. 2.634/2015 regarding the financial accounting documents, as amended and supplemented.

The accounting record is kept in Romanian and in the national currency.

The accounting for transactions in foreign currency is carried out both in national currency and in foreign currency.

The financial year is the calendar year.

The financial statements are prepared and reported in thousand lei and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand lei. Due to rounding, the numbers presented do not always accurately reflect the totals provided, and the percentages do not accurately reflect absolute figures.

The financial statements are prepared based on historical cost.

The financial statements are presented in accordance with IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". The company has opted for a presentation by nature and liquidity in the statement of financial position and a presentation of income and expenses by nature in the statement of profit or loss, considering that these methods offer information relevant to the company's situation.

3.2. Applied Accounting Policies

Aerostar SA describes the applied accounting policies the notes to the individual financial statements and avoids repeating the text of the standard, unless it is considered relevant to understanding the content of the note.

Compared to the presentation made at the end of the financial year 2020, no changes were made to the applied accounting principles, methods, policies and procedures.

NOTE 4 – TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES

AEROSTAR considers the Romanian LEU as the functional currency and the financial statements are presented in thousand LEI.

The currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rate of the functional currency on the date of the transaction.

On the date of the Financial Position Statement, the assets and financial liabilities denominated in foreign currency are evaluated in the functional currency using the exchange rate, communicated by the Romanian National Bank, valid on the date of ending the financial year:

Currency 30.06.2021
EUR (Euro) 4,9267
USD (American Dollar) 4.1425
GBP (British pound) 5,7374

The favourable and unfavourable exchange rates differences resulting from the settlement of the assets and financial liabilities denominated in foreign currency are recognized in the Profit or Loss Statement for the financial year in which they occur.

Considering that 65% of the turnover registered in the reporting period is denominated in USD and EUR, while a significant part of the operating costs is denominated in LEI, the foreign exchange rates variations will affect both its net incomes and the financial position as expressed in the functional currency.

In the reporting period the net currency exposure resulted as a difference between the amounts collected from the financial assets and the payment of the financial liabilities denominated in that currency is as follows:

FIRST SEMESTER 2021 k EUR k USD k GBP
Collected from financial assets 4.793 20.084 0
Payments of financial liabilities (2.760) (6.820) (159)
Foreign exchange net exposure 2.033 13.264 (159)

In the reporting period, the quarterly variation of the foreign exchange rate USD/LEU was as follows: + 2,00% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 31.12.2020

  • 2,64% in quater II of 2021 compared to 31.03.2021

and

EUR/LEU:

  • 0,20% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 31.12.2020

  • 0,03% in quarter II of 2021 compared to 31.03.2021

has determined a recorded profit from favourable exchange rate differences of 2.050 thousand LEI.

  • Other intangible assets

The software programmes are registered under other intangible assets.

The estimated useful lifetimes of intangible assets are determined in years. The useful lifetimes are established by committees of specialists from the company.

The fiscal durations of operation of the intangible assets are stipulated by the fiscal legislation on assets.

The expenses with amortization are recognized in the profit or loss account using the linear method of calculation.

The intangible assets in the balance sheet account as on 30.06.2021 are not depreciated and no adjustments were made for the depreciation thereof.

When determining the gross accounting value of the intangible assets, the company uses the historical cost method.

The value of the completely amortized software licenses on 30 June 2021 and which are still in use is 3.235 thousand lei.

All the intangible assets recorded in the balance sheet as on 30 June 2021 are the property of AEROSTAR.

The increased values of intangible assets were a result of: 165 k lei

The useful lifetimes are established by committees consisting of specialists from our company. The useful lifetimes of the property, plant and equipment will be reviewed in September 2021.

The fiscal useful lifetimes of the property, plant and equipment are stipulated by the fiscal legislation on assets.

The company did not purchase assets from business combinations, nor did it classify assets for future sale.

The investment property contains a number of 11 real estate – buildings and related lands which are rented to third parties based on renting contracts.

The value of renting incomes in this category of fixed assets, registered on 30 June 2021 was 1.121 thousand lei.

On the date of transition to IFRS, the company estimated and included in the cost of the property, plant and equipment the estimated costs for their decommissioning at the end of a useful lifetime.

These costs were reflected in the set-up of a provision, which is recorded in the profit and loss account throughout the lifetime of the property, plant and equipment, by inclusion in the depreciation expense.

The depreciation of an asset begins when the asset is available for use (i.e. when the asset is in the location and condition necessary to operate as envisioned by the top management) and ends on the day when the asset is reclassified in another category or when it is derecognized.

The depreciation does not end when the asset is not in use.

The land and buildings are separable assets, and their accounts are kept separately, even when they are acquired together.

The land has an unlimited useful lifetime and, therefore, is not submitted to amortization.

In accordance with the provisions of IAS 36 - Impairment of assets, the company proceeded to the identification of any signs of impairment of property, plant and equipment, taking into consideration the external and internal sources of information.

Internal sources of information:

The economic performance of the assets is good, all fixed assets that are in operation benefit the company.

External source of information:

On 30.06.2021 the market value of the company (stock exchange capitalization) recorded an increase of 55% compared to 30.06.2020.

The indicator that offers information regarding the interest from the investors in the company listed on the capital market is the market capitalization with reference to the company equity (MBR).

indicator MBR-Market to book ratio 30.06.2021 30.06.2020 31.12.2020
Stock exchange capitalization/ company equity 1,6 1,3 1,7

The increased over-unit value of the MBR indicator compared to the similar previous period is obtained by companies well listed on the capital market and which are of interest to the investors.

The property, plant and equipment in the balance sheet on 30.06.2021 are not depreciated and no significant depreciation indicators were identified.

The gross accounting value of the fully depreciated property, plant and equipment which are still in operation on 30 June 2021 is 30.394 thousand lei.

On 30.06.2021 no mortgages were set on the fixed assets owned by Aerostar S.A.

** The consumables participate or help the manufacturing or operating process, without usually being found in the finished product (auxiliary materials, fuels, spare parts, tooling & jigs and other consumables).

The inventories are assessed at the lowest value between the cost and the net achievable value. The net achievable value is the estimated sale price for inventories minus all estimated costs for completion and the estimated costs required for the sale.

The cost of inventories includes: acquisition costs, conversion costs as well as other costs incurred to bring inventories to the state and in the place where they are currently found.

Adjustments of their value are made regularly based on the findings of the inventory commissions and/ or the managers of the production modules in order to present them at the lowest value between the cost and the net achievable value.

Inside the Company, the goods which are considered to be depreciated are those that are older than the storage period established by internal decision of the Board of Directors. The total value of inventories recognized as an expense during the period is of 55.416 thousand lei.

AEROSTAR holds inventories of finished products (buffer) at the levels contractually agreed with the customers.

NOTE 17 – TAX ON DEFERRED PROFIT

The deferred tax is determined for the temporary differences which occur between the tax base of the assets and liabilities and their accounting base. The deferred tax is calculated at a tax rate of 16% applicable to the temporary differences when resumed.

The Company estimated and registered liabilities regarding the deferred tax related to non-current assets (which results from differences between accounting and fiscal values, the different useful life, s.o.) and of the reserves and recognized receivables regarding the deferred tax related to the inventories, which were adjusted for depreciation, provisions for customer bonds, provisions for benefits granted to the employees and other provisions.

The structure of deferred income tax registered on 30.06.2021 is:

Liabilities from deferred tax

1. Liabilities related to deferred tax generated by the differences between accounting
bases (higher) and the fiscal ones (lower) of the non-current assets 1.677
2. Liabilities related to the deferred tax concerning legal reserves 1.559
3. Liabilities on deferred tax related to reserves from the fiscal facility 15.589
4. Liabilities on deferred tax related to the reported result representing a surplus from
revaluation reserves 61
Total liabilities from deferred tax 18.886
Receivables on deferred tax
1. Receivables on deferred tax related to other provisions 736
2. Receivables on deferred tax related to provisions for bonds granted to customers 6.920
3. Receivables on deferred tax related to provisions for manpower benefits 36
4. Receivables on deferred tax related to the adjustments for depreciation of the
inventories 7.857
5. Receivables on deferred tax related to the adjustments for depreciation of the trade
receivables 120
Total receivables on deferred tax 15.669

The Company did not recognize receivables on deferred tax related to other provisions for the aviation industry risks due to an uncertainty regarding the fiscal deductibility of the expenses which may occur from the settlement of the obligations arising in the future periods.

NOTE 18 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

A financial instrument is any contract generating simultaneously a financial asset for an entity and a financial liability or an equity instrument for another entity.

The financial assets and liabilities are recognized when AEROSTAR S.A. becomes part of the contractual provisions of the instrument.

On the reporting date AEROSTAR S.A. does not hold:

  • any financial instruments kept for making transactions (including derived instruments);
  • any financial instruments kept till due date;
  • any financial instruments available for sale.

The financial assets of AEROSTAR S.A. include:

  • trade receivables;
  • trade effects received;
  • immobilized receivables (bonds deposited at third parties);

The financial liabilities of AEROSTAR S.A. include:

  • trade liabilities;
  • trade effects payable.

On the reporting date AEROSTAR does not have financial any liabilities concerning financial leasing, overdrafts and long-term bank loans.

The main types of risks generated by the financial instruments held, to which AEROSTAR S.A is exposed are:

  • a) credit risk
  • b) liquidity risk,
  • c) currency risk,
  • d) interest rate risk.

a) Credit risk

The credit risk is the risk that one of the parties involved in a financial instrument generates a financial loss for the other party as a result of the failure to meet a contractual obligation, related mainly to cash, cash equivalents (bank deposits) and trade receivables.

The cash and cash equivalents are placed only at first-rank bank institutions considered to have a high solvency rate.

In some cases, specific instruments of commercial credit risk decrease (receipts in advance, letters of payment bank security, confirmed export credentials).

AEROSTAR has no significant exposure toward a single partner and records no significant concentration of receivables on a single geographical area.

Exposure to credit risk

The accounting value of the financial assets, net of the depreciation adjustments, represents the maximum exposure to the credit risk.

The maximum exposure to the credit risk on the reporting date was:

30.06.2021 30.06.2020
Trade receivables, net of adjustments for 33.171 26.475

Balance on 30 June 543 678

On 30.06.2021, 98,40% of the balance of trade receivables are related to customers with a good payment record.

b) Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk is the risk that AEROSTAR has difficulties in meeting the obligations associated to the financial liabilities which are settled by cash payments.

AEROSTAR's policy regarding this risk is to maintain an optimum level of liquidity so as to pay for the liabilities, as they become due.

To evaluate the liquidity risk, the treasury cash flows from operations, from investments and from financing operations are monitored and reviewed weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly in order to determine the estimated level of net liquidity modifications.

Also, the specific liquidity indicators are reviewed monthly (general liquidity, immediate liquidity and rate of general solvency) against the budgeted levels.

Further, in order to reduce the liquidity risk, AEROSTAR maintains annually a liquidity reserve as a Credit Line (usable as an overdraft) granted by banks to a maximum limit of 2.500 thousand USD.

The time intervals used to review the contractual due dates of the financial liabilities, with a view to show the timeframe for the cash flows in due time, are shown in the table below:

The cash flows included in the analyses of the due dates are not expected to take place earlier or at significantly different values.

On 30.06.2021 AEROSTAR has no records of overdue financial liabilities.

c) Foreign currency risk

The foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuate because of the changes in the currency exchange rates.

Exposure to the foreign currency risk

AEROSTAR is exposed to the foreign currency risks, as 65% of the turnover recorded in the reporting period is denominated in USD and EUR, while a significant part of the operating expenses is denominated in LEI.

Therefore, Aerostar is exposed to the risk that the currency exchange rate variations will affect both its net income and its financial position as expressed in lei.

The net exposure of the financial assets and liabilities to the foreign exchange risk is presented below based on the carrying amounts denominated in foreign currency recorded at the end of the reporting period:

30.06.2021 k EUR k USD k GBP
Cash and cash equivalents 5.278 1.701 12
Trade receivables 883 5.044 0
Trade liabilities (770) (2.431) (13)
Net exposure in original currency 5.391 4.314 (1)

Sensitivity analysis

Taking into consideration the net exposure calculated in the above table it can be considered that AEROSTAR is exposed mainly to the foreign exchange risk generated by the variation of the foreign exchange rate USD/LEU.

Taking into consideration the evolution of USD/LEU and EUR/LEU exchange rate in the previous years, a relatively high volatility (+/- 10%) of the USD/LEU exchange rate and a moderate volatility (+/-2%) of the EUR/LEU exchange rate can be noticed.

Thus, a reasonably possible variation of the USD/LEU foreign exchange rate of +/- 10% and +/-2% may be envisaged to calculate at the end of the reporting period.

The effect of the reasonably possible variation of the USD/LEU exchange rate and EUR/LEU exchange rate over the financial result of AEROSTAR is calculated in the following table:

30.06.2021 EUR/LEU USD/LEU
Net exposure, in the currency of origin 5.391 k EUR 4.314 k USD
Currency exchange rate 4,93 4.14
Net exposure in functional currency 26.578 k LEI 17.860 k LEI
Possible reasonable variation of exchange +/- 2% +/- 10%
rate
Effect of variation on the financial +/- 532 k LEI +/- 1.786 k LEI
result

d) Interest rate risk

For the reporting period AEROSTAR contracted a multi-product Credit Facility in a total amount of 7.000 thousand USD, intended for financing the Company's operations, which includes:

  • 1) Product A: in the amount of 2.500 thousand USD, usable as an overdraft, set up to provide at any given time the necessary financial liquidity and flexibility (liquidity reserve);
  • 2) Product B: in the amount of 7.000 thousand USD (provided that the aggregate amount used from Product A and product B does not exceed the value of the multi-product Credit Facility), usable under the form of a facility of issuing bonds as instruments to ensure collateral for the commercial contractual obligations by issuing bank bond letters and import Letters of Credit.

The bank interest is applicable only for the overdraft utilized from Product A in the amount of 2.500 thousand USD.

As during the reporting period AEROSTAR did not use the Product A, the company revenues and cash flows are independent from the interest rate variations on the banking market.

On 30.06.2021, the level of bonds granted by AEROSTAR under commercial agreements, by issue of bank bond letters and import Letters of Credit amounts to 1.985 thousand USD (equivalent to 8.223 thousand LEI).

On 30.06.2021 no mortgages are set up on the property assets in AEROSTAR ownership.

NOTE 27 - INFORMATION REGARDING THE CASH FLOW

The method used in the Cash Flow Statement is the direct method.

The cash flows Statement presents the cash flows and cash equivalents classified on operating activities, investments and financing, thus indicating how AEROSTAR generates and uses the cash and cash equivalents.

In the context of the Cash Flows Statement:

  • the cash flows are the amounts collected and paid in cash and cash equivalents;
  • the cash means the amounts available in banks and cashier's desk.
  • the cash equivalents comprise the deposits formed in banks, bills and promissory notes deposited with banks in order to be collected.

The treasury cash flows from the transactions made in foreign currency are registered in the functional currency by applying to this value the exchange rate between the functional currency (LEU) and the foreign currency as on the date when the treasury cash flow was generated (date of making payments and collections).

The earnings and losses coming from the exchange rate variation are not treasury cash flows. Nevertheless, the effect of the exchange rate variation on the cash and equivalent held or due in foreign currency is reported in the treasury cash flows statement, but separately from the treasury cash flows coming from operations, investments and financing, so as to reconcile the cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and at the end of the reporting period.

The operating activities are AEROSTAR's main cash-generating activities.

Thus, in the first semester of 2021:

  • the amounts collected from the customers were worth 186.336 thousand LEI,
  • the amounts collected as subventions were worth 2.374 thousand LEI, of which 2.347 thousand lei were collected as a result of the support measures adopted by the Government in the context of the epidemiologic situation (SARS-CoV-2) in Romania,
  • the payments to the suppliers and employees amounted to 101.091 thousand LEI, of which 68.346 thousand LEI payments to the suppliers and 32.745 thousand LEI payments to the employees;
  • tax payments to the State Budget amounted to 35.147 thousand LEI, of which 1.037 thousand LEI tax on profit.

The operating activity generated a net cash of 53.359 thousand LEI, an increase by 15.236 thousand LEI compared to the same period of the previous year.

The payments to purchase tangible and intangible assets amounted to 2.323 thousand LEI. The value of the cash flows allocated for the increase of the operating capacity represents 1% of the aggregate value of the cash used for operating, investment and financing activities.

As part of the financing activity, an amount of 17.183 thousand LEI was paid, representing dividends due to the shareholders.

The level of cash and cash equivalents registered on 30.06.2021 amounts to 239.535 thousand LEI, an increase by 36.875 thousand LEI compared to the beginning of the year.

However, there may be risks and uncertainties additional to what is presented further on, which are currently unknown or considered insignificant, but which may affect in the future the business lines run by AEROSTAR.

Operational Risk

It is the risk to incur losses or of failure to make the estimated profits determined by:

  • the use of inadequate processes, systems and manpower or which failed to execute their function properly
  • external events and actions: deterioration of the global economic conditions, natural catastrophes or other events that can affect AEROSTAR's assets.

Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic affects significant sectors of the global markets and economies.

The global supply chains of the aeronautical industry is facing significant cancellations and reductions of the airplane manufacturing orders, as well as reduced passenger air traffic. As a result, all the suppliers in the global supply chains are affected, which leads to reduced activities, temporary or indefinite shutdowns of the production facilities, temporary or definitive unemployment in all sectors of activity of the aeronautical industry.

In terms of human resources, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic causes profound changes of people's lifestyle and their outlook on priorities and value hierarchies. In most cases the safety measures implemented in AEROSTAR have helped us eliminate the risk of appearance and developments of new outbreaks among our employees.

For the year 2021, given the diminished production in the field of manufacture of parts, aviation equipment and maintenance services in civil aviation MRO, AEROSTAR has decided to maintain unaffected its production capabilities and to maintain the existing personnel, also resorting to the legal solution of technical unemployment and/or reduced worktime. AEROSTAR will take steps to ensure the levels of skills and qualifications needed to honor the existing contracts, while also maintaining its recovery and growth capacity when the pandemic effect will stop.

The Operational Risk also includes the Legal Risk, defined as the risk of loss, resulting from the fines, penalties and sanctions AEROSTAR is liable in case of non-application or misapplication of dispositions, legal or contractual regulations, as well as the fact that the rights and contractual obligations of AEROSTAR and/or of the business partner are not properly established.

The effects of the legal risk are monitored and eliminated through a permanent information system regarding the legislative modifications, as well as by setting up a review, endorsement and approval system for the terms and conditions included in the commercial agreements.

AEROSTAR has allocated and will continue to allocate investment funds and other operational expenses in order to prevent and manage the operational risk.

In addition, by setting up provisions for risks and related expenses, AEROSTAR aims to have its own funding to cover its risks of exposure.

Moreover, in order to minimize the operational risk, AEROSTAR renews annually, with 1st tier insurance-reinsurance companies, a civil liability insurance contract related to the main business lines (manufacturing of aircraft products and maintenance for commercial aircraft).

The Credit Risk is the risk of AEROSTAR bearing a financial loss as a result of the failure to meet the contractual obligations by a partner, being determined mainly by cash, cash equivalents (bank deposits) and trade receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents are placed only in 1st tier bank institutions, considered as having a high solvency rating.

The credit risk, including the country risk in which the customer runs its activity, is managed per business partner. When necessary, specific instruments of credit risk mitigation are requested (advance payments, letters of bank guarantee, confirmed letters of credit).

AEROSTAR has no significant exposure towards a single partner and does not register a significant concentration of the turnover on a single geographical area.

There is however a significant exposure of the AIRBUS programmes to the global market, a large part of the copmpany's products being integrated in the Airbus airplanes.

A presentation of the quantitative information regarding AEROSTAR's exposure to the credit risk is detailed in Note 18 (Financial Instruments) to the Financial Statements.

The Liquidity Risk is the risk for AEROSTAR to encounter difficulties in fulfilling its liabilitiesrelated obligations as they become due.

To manage the liquidity risk, the cash flows are monitored and analysed weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually in order to establish the estimated level of net modifications of the cash. Such reviews provide the basis for the financing decisions and for the capital expenditures.

In order to reduce the liquidity risk, AEROSTAR keeps an annual cash-reserve in the form of a Credit Line usable as an overdraft granted by banks in the amount of 2.500 thousand USD. During the reporting period, AEROSTAR did not use the Credit Line, all the activities of the Company being financed from its own sources.

The Market Risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial statement will fluctuate due to the modifications of the market price.

The market risk comprises the price risk, the exchange rate risk and the interest rate risk.

AEROSTAR is exposed mainly to the price risk determined by the fluctuations of the raw material price and of the price of the material used in the manufacturing processes, caused by exceptional events such as the Brexit Agreement with impact on the purchasing of material from U.K., the application of international sanctions resulting in a limited possibility to procure parts and materials,

the increased costs with specific taxes for the import/export of metallic products (mate of steels and/or aluminium) to and from USA. Tis risk is pregnant on the background of the economic recession of the aeronautical industry caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The management of this risk is carried out by:

  • diversifying the portfolio of suppliers, which offers a larger leverage in negotiations in case the price of raw materials is increased by certain suppliers.
  • long-term contract agreements, with provisions on fixed prices.

AEROSTAR is exposed to the exchange rate risk because 65% of its turnover is related to USD and EUR, while a significant part of the operating expenses is denominated in LEI.

Thus, AEROSTAR is exposed to the risk that the exchange rate variations will affect both its net income, as well as its financial position, as they are expressed in LEI.

An analysis of AEROSTAR's sensitivity to the foreign exchange rate's variations is detailed in Note 18 (Financial Instruments) to the Financial Statements.

As far as the interest rate is concerned, due to the fact that AEROSTAR did not use the contracted Credit Line in the reported period, the income and cash flows are independent from the interest rate variation on the banking market.

Other aspects concerning risk management are presented in the chapter OPPORTUNITY RISK MANAGEMENT of the Board of Directors' Report.

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information To the Shareholders of Aerostar SA Bacau

[1] We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial information of Aerostar SA Bacau (hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), with registered office in Bacau, 1 Condorilor street, identified by the tax registration code 950531, comprising the interim statement of financial position as at June 30, 2021, and the interim statement of comprehensive income, interim statement of changes in equity and interim statement of cash flows for the six-months period then ended, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes to the interim financial information.

[2] Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with the Order of the Minister of Public Finance no. 2844/2016, approving the accounting regulations compliant with the International Financial Reporting Standards and IAS 34 - Interim financial Reporting, adopted by European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

[3] We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (ISRE 2410). A review of financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

[4] Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information does not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the entity as at June 30, 2021, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the six-months period then ended in accordance with the Order of the Minister of Public Finance no. 2844/2016, approving the accounting regulations compliant with the International Financial Reporting Standards and IAS 34 - Interim financial Reporting, adopted by European Union.

Other aspects

[5] This report is made solely to the Company's shareholders, as a body. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in a limited review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's shareholders as a body, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.
